Perched at 1930m in the quiet Le Fornet district of Val d'Isère, the lavishly fitted and tastefully adorned Arolay Penthouse provides a one-of-a-kind alpine experience as one of the highest duplex penthouses in the French Alps. This elegant four-bedroom home accommodates up to eight guests and boasts an outstanding double height, quadruple-aspect living space. It mixes modern elegance with the warm, inviting appeal of a classic chalet. It offers a tranquil mountain hideaway while being only a five-minute walk from the slopes and a five-minute ride to the busy town core via the free shuttle bus system, which stops at the bus stop outside and operates from 7.30am to 2am in the winter.
Arolay Penthouse is located on the top two floors of an elite chalet that was recently built in the traditional style. It is accessible by a private lift. On the first level, guests are met by a large corridor that leads to the master suite and three more en-suite double bedrooms. All bedrooms have exceptionally comfortable pillow-top Hypnos mattresses and plush Hungarian goose down bedding. This level also has private laundry and drying areas, as well as a guest toilet.
The main superking/twin bedroom has a balcony with beautiful views and a lavish en-suite bathroom with a separate shower and full-size soaking tub. This bedroom includes a built-in dressing table, extra wardrobe space, and a smart television.
The three remaining en-suite bedrooms each provide a tranquil private refuge, with two of them having access to wrap-around balconies with breathtaking south and west-facing views. One of these bedrooms includes a full-size bathtub, ideal for relaxing after a day on the slopes. High-quality reclaimed wood, natural stone, and rich fabrics create a warm, elegant ambiance throughout.
Ascending to the top level, you'll discover what distinguishes this luxury duplex penthouse: an exceptional double-height living area with sweeping quadruple-aspect mountain views of the Bellevarde, Solaise, Signal, and Tovière peaks. This light-filled room has an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area with a warm wood-burning fireplace, custom art, clever lighting options, and big sofas. An perfect, comfortable vantage point for watching the ski school instructors' monthly torchlit descents down La Face de Bellevarde, as well as the village's frequent, stunning firework displays.
The well-equipped, contemporary kitchen is ideal for social events, and the adjacent dining space is capped by a stunning large wicker chandelier that adds a touch of rustic elegance.
Step outdoors onto the spacious south-facing roof terrace for al fresco dining, or just enjoy the breathtaking mountain views from the outdoor seating area. Spend cold evenings stargazing or watching the piste bashers at work in the moonlight.
On the ground level, you and your guests will have access to a private ski room complete with heated boot warmers. This is accessible via the lift. The parking facilities are located on the lower ground level and are also accessible by lift. They include three subterranean parking places, which is unusual in Val d'Isère.
Arolay Penthouse, located just 200 metres from the Le Fornet cable car and the blue Mangard ski run, provides a serene and luxury mountain getaway with convenient access to Val d'Isère's 300km of immaculate pistes. Val d'Isère's dynamic après-ski scene, world-class restaurants, and boutique stores are only a five-minute shuttle bus ride away, making this penthouse the ideal headquarters for anyone seeking both action and leisure.
